Page 51 of Beautiful Revenge

His smirk tells me he thinks he’s won. Slowly, he takes off his clothes, like he’s in no hurry. It’s making me impatient.

When his shirt comes off, all I can think is that his chest is a work of art. All muscle and strength. Hair and strong ridges. My fingers twitch from the urge to touch him.

That is the last thing I can do.

Finn winks as he takes his pants and underwear off. The sight of his penis is…

It’s something I don’t want to look away from. It’s slightly erect. He wants me. That thought makes another flutter happen in my stomach. No. I push it away.

I want to look away too but I don’t dare. If I do, Finn will know he’s won. He will see my fear.

“Like what you see?” he asks.

I have to play this cool, so I shrug. “I’ve seen better.”

His smirk disappears and is replaced with a stoic scowl. “You’ve seen better? I know for a fact that you’re a virgin, princess.”

“Doesn’t mean I haven’t seen any penises before. I’ve watched porn.”

“Have you now?”

“I have.” I keep my head held high.

Finn captures my face between his hands. I force my breath to steady. “How much porn have you watched?”

“Does it matter?”

“It matters to me. I need to know how my cock compares.”

“It’s fine. The men in the videos I’ve seen were much bigger. You’ll just never be able to compare.”

“Careful, princess.”

“Or what? You’ll hurt me? You need me, Finn. You won’t hurt me.”

His fingers tighten on my face. “I could snap your neck right here, right now.”

“Then do it.”

His eyes say so much and yet nothing at all. I can’t make sense of it. With another smirk, he lets me go. “You got me there, princess.”

“You’re not as tough as you make yourself out to be.”

“Say that to all the people I’ve killed.”

I shiver. He’s not a man I can be flirting with. He’s a monster. A villain. “You’ve seen me naked and now I’ve seen you. I’m going to call it a night.”

“Princess,” he calls out as I head for the stairs. I know I shouldn’t stop but I do. “When you finally let me fuck you one day, you’ll take back everything you said about my cock. You’ll be begging me for more.”

“That will never happen,” I hiss at him.

“Never say never.”

With a huff, I run upstairs and slam the door shut behind me. Then I shiver. Without Finn’s warmth, I’m suddenly cold. I dive under the blankets and squeeze my eyes shut and convince myself to fall asleep.

It doesn’t happen.

The sight of Finn’s naked body haunts me the entire night. It makes my stomach flutter.
